Kentucky Fried Chicken fined for health violations

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles County prosecutors say Kentucky Fried Chicken and one of its largest franchisees have agreed to pay a $200,000 fine for various health and safety violations.

Spokeswoman Sandi Gibbons says the agreement announced Tuesday stems from KFC's 2009 rollout of its grilled chicken menu items, which allegedly resulted in the installation of new ovens that caused unsafe smoke ventilation in some facilities.
